AEW veteran Dustin Rhodes is a legend in wrestling from his stints at WCW and WWE as Goldust. But before he made a name for himself in the business, Dustin was born to The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes.
Being the son of a major wrestling superstar has its perks, and money was one of them. Goldust has certainly done well for himself in his own WWE career and has not coasted on his family name, no doubt earning as much, and probably more than his father ever did or ever dreamed of being possible.

Growing up the son of the immensely famous American Dream allowed young Goldust to enjoy his childhood and helped set him on the path to his career success. While his Rhodes name got Dustin's foot in the door, he carved his unique legacy in the business. His best years were his first run in WWE but, after much time away, he’s enjoyed a rebirth in AEW many wrestlers only wish they had.
